Hinton Hunt AN 102 - Painted

I finished the Austrian figure this morning and applied a coat of gloss varnish. Its been a long time since I have used black ink for lining. I used off white for the coat and this has turned out well.

I am going to start cleaning up the rest of my Hinton Hunt/early 20mm minifigs and start renovating them.

I am going to order a few recast HH from John Cunningham to add a few more units.

So there was somebody else buying Austrians from the Pierrepont Arcade. I'm more than pleased to have discovered that. I never grew up sufficiently to put my lads into a box in the shed but spent decades trying to find compatible 20mms. RSMs proved to be a bit too small but, as you have discovered, SHQs do the job. I have quite a lot of spare SHQ Austrian infantry if you are at all interested. I like your rendering of AN102. More power to your reinvigorated endeavours.

About Me

I have been wargaming since 1969 and over that time have collected many different periods.
Over the last 7 years I have gone back to my wargaming roots re discovering the rules I used in my early days including the classic works - Charge and the Wargame.
In 2017 I started collecting Hinton Hunt and other classic Napoleonic figure ranges.
